Good luck to All of me for a goalless second half

Apple_Crumble, DDRickyDD and yakutz correctly predicted a 2-1 Slovakia win against Russia. All Of Me, charlieparr and Cissy Fairfax also start the second round with 2 points for going for a Slovakia win.

The second round continues with

Romania v Switzerland (Group A)
We have 4 players going for a Romania win, 19 going for a draw and 21 going for Switzerland to win. The 1-1 draw is the most popular prediction here as 15 of us have gone for that. There are also three players going for a goalless draw. 12 players have gone for a 1-0 Switzerland win, 7 for 2-1 and two players have gone for them to win 2-0. Three of the players going for a Romania win have gone for 1-0 and the other player has gone for 2-1. For the second match today there is just a single uber-max prediction and that is for a 2-2 draw.

The double points bonus would apply to tso if Romania win 2-1 or to tonypennys if it is a 2-2 draw

15 players got a max from the 1-1 draw between Romania and Switzerland: All Of Me, Apple_Crumble, beth84, Chris MacL, Cuishla, DimbleBurbleby, dtcdtcdtc, eugenespeed, Hutchy_Muse, InTheLoop, lauro, neilwatson, taurus_67, Xavier Quebeck and yakutz all got this spot on. digiremote, Janielovesyou, tonypennys and uls2000 were the other players who went for a draw.

Can Apple Crumble or Yakutz make it a perfect day? Need 3-0 and 2-0 to France tonight respectively.

For today's final match:

France v Albania (Group A)
This one of two matches from this set of fixtures where we have all gone for the same outcome – in this case a France win. 18 players have gone for a 2-0 France win to make that the most popular prediction for this match. A further 14 players have gone for a 3-0 win, four players have gone for 2-1 and three for a 1-0 win. Four of the 5 uber-max predictions are for a 4-0 win and the other player has gone for France to win 5-0.

dean michael is the only player who could claim the double points bonus from this match – if France win 5-0.

Had ruled it out 5 minutes ago!

Two very late goals gave 18 players a max. charlieparr, Cissy Fairfax, Darren Lethem, DimSum, dtcdtcdtc, dyer24, jake1981, Janielovesyou, JBO, lauro, Mark F, MinkyJoe, Thebenster, tonypennys, uls2000, willrelf92, Xavier Quebeck and yakutz all went for France to beat Albania 2-0. A further 26 players also scored 2 points for predicting a France win.

yakutz 15
Apple_Crumble 12
dtcdtcdtc 10
lauro 10

Day 7 and Match number 16

England v Wales (Group B)
There are 30 players going for an England win, 12 going for a draw and 2 players have tipped Wales to win. 17 players have gone for a 2-1 England win, with both the 1-0 and 2-0 wins being selected 6 times each and one player has gone for them to win 3-0. There are 8 players going for a 1-1 draw and one player going for 0-0. Both the 1-0 and 2-1 Wales wins have been selected once each. Three players have gone for an uber-max prediction – each going for a 2-2 draw.

A goalless draw will see bradybrady get the first double points bonus of the tournament, whilst a 1-0 Wales win would give a bonus to DDRickyDD and the 2-1 Wales win to Hutchy_Muse. The other player who could possibly get the bonus is dean michael, if England win 3-0.

Yet another late goal in the opening match today sees beth84, charlieparr, Cissy Fairfax, Cuishla, DimSum, dtcdtcdtc, eugenespeed, Hibs-kid-2007, Mark F, neilwatson, Realale, Sam_Clarke1, Terrence Chant, Thebenster, willrelf92, WoodsMonk and yakutz all getting a max having gone for England to beat Wales 2-1. There were 13 other players who scored 2 points from this match.

Apple_Crumble, DDRickyDD and lauro have scored points from the most matches - each getting something in 11 of the 16 matches played so far

For the second match today:

Ukraine v Northern Ireland (Group C)
35 of us have gone for a Ukraine win and the other 9 players have gone for a draw. There are 12 players going for a 2-0 Ukraine win, 9 going for 1-0, five for 3-0 and four players have gone for a 2-1 win. We have five players going for a 1-1 draw and four going for it to finish goalless. Four of the five uber-max predictions are for a 3-1 Ukraine win, whilst one player has gone for a 4-1 win.

The only player who can benefit from the double points bonus here is dean Michael, if Ukraine win 4-1.

No-one went for a Northern Ireland win, so their 2-0 victory is the first match this tournament where we all fail to pick up any points.

Don't think many of us will be displeased on this occasion - what a win for Norn Iron!!

For the final match today:

Germany v Poland (Group C)
We have 37 players going for a Germany win, 6 going for a draw and 1 player has backed Poland to win. The 2-1 Germany win is the most popular prediction as 13 of us have gone for that. There are also 7 players going for a 2-0 win, three for a 1-0 win and two players have gone for a 3-0 win. There are two players going for a 1-1 draw, whilst the only player backing Poland has gone for a 2-1 win. 9 of the 12 uber-max predictions are for a 3-1 Germany win, whilst two players have gone for a 4-1 win and one player has gone for with 4-2.

Any win for Poland will mean double points for uls2000, whilst familyguy8904 would get a double uber-max if Germany win 4-2.

Yes - I think some might have been put off by NI's performance in their first game TBH..

They were a lot more attacking and fully deserved to win.

This current game might not yield many points either.

No-one went for the first goalless draw of the tournament between Germany and Poland. However, Apple_Crumble, Cissy Fairfax, Hibs-kid-2007, InTheLoop, Janielovesyou and tonypennys did all go for a draw.

For the first of today's matches:

Italy v Sweden (Group E)
There are 32 players going for an Italy win, 11 going for a draw and 1 player has gone for a Sweden win. We have 12 players going for Italy to win 1-0, whilst both the 2-0 and 2-1 wins have been selected by 10 players. There are also 10 players going for a 1-1 draw and one going for it to finish 0-0. The only player backing Sweden has gone for them to win 2-1. No-one has gone for an uber-max in this match.

If this match finishes goalless Partyanimal will become the first player to get the double points bonus, whilst if Sweden win clm2071 will get double points.

Think it's reasonable to assume we won't be seeing our first übermaxable™ game of the tournament here.

This is proving to be a tournament of late goals. Today it was Italy's turm to get the late winner and deny Partyanimal the double points bonus. bradybrady, charlieparr, Cissy Fairfax, DDRickyDD, DimSum, eugenespeed, jake1981, Janielovesyou, Mark F, taurus_67, Terrence Chant and uls2000 all went for a 1-0 Italy win against Sweden. 20 other players scored 2 points from this match.

yakutz 20
Cissy Fairfax 19

yakutz is still the top scorer this round, courtesy of his 4 maxes.

The cowpat table would make very interesting reading. What a pity we don't do it for this tournament 😛
